saluted as Mrs. Cleveland approached. The rest of the party were taken off, and they were soon under way for Woods Holl. The author lties there have promised that Mrs. Cleve- lands visit shall be as quiet and free from any demonstration as she desires. The invitation to take sail in the cutter belonging to the United States Fish Commission was rendered by the commanding officer some days ago, and was accepted by Mrs. Cleveland with pleasure
 Tomorrow the entertainment, consisting of scenes from 'Alice in Wonderland" will be repeated, with some variations, at the Glider studio for the benefit of Wells College, of which Mrs. Cleveland is trustee. She is very much interested in the welfare of the col lege, and last summer she asked some of her friends who were with her at the commence ment exercises to keep mite boxes for the ben eft of certain funds for it. The entertain ment to be repeated was promised them for this purpose, and Mrs. Cleveland's present un- expected visit in Nation has nothing to do with the matter. Miss Smith, the principal of the college, is expected to be present.
 Cleveland's verdict concerning this now fla nous little town, which rests on a wedge of land set into the coast between Wareham on and Mattapoisett on the west, on the west side of Bpzzards Bay and near its head. Back fromth shore are wooded lowlands traversed by roads almost arched over with foliage. "I am reminded" said Mrs. Cleveland, "of what James wrote in The Bostonians' of Miss Chancellor and her friends having been drawn to Marion by the conviction that its toneless air would minister to perfect rest"
 Marion was part of the town of Rochester until 1852, and what seems to be the principal street of the village comes from Rochester. There are two Marions-the Gold landing" and the 'Iower village" or Sippicon. The local pride of the former has immensely increased since Mrs. Cleveland came here. Marion re- tired from business many years ago. There was time when the place had industries. These were the production of salt during the revolutionary war and for while thereafter, and the fitting out of whaling vessels. Of these industries the solid granite quays which line the harbor front afford almost Il only present indications.

VERY MAD FORESTERS.
They Won't Admit the Negro and
 They Defy the Britishers.

The Twelfth subsidiary High Court of the Ancient Order of Foresters has concluded it's labo's at Chicago. In the closing session the most important question before the court was the framing of an answer to the Supreme Court of Foresters in England with reference to the cablegram received ordering the ad- mission of colored men into the association. MT. Gardener Washburn, Chairman of the committee appointed to consider this question, handed in report which took strong stand against the position of the English High Court. The report says:
 "We would give the High Court of England to understand that this American branch will not be controlled contrary to the general laws of the order and the best interests of the For esters as 8 body. Any coercive act such as the admission of the negro into the order, will be fought tooth and nail; and we warn the High Court of England that if they continue to claim powers not granted them by the consti- tuition, We may separate and sunder ourselves from such supreme court as our fathers did from the all-claiming English Ministry in the reign of George H."
 Several heated speeches were delivered, when, by a unanimous vote, the report was accepted, and the Secretary instructed to for ward copy of the same to the Supreme Court of Foresters in London.

The Chinese Empress's Pastime.
The Hong Kong Times says;

The Hong Kong Times says:
 The Empress Regent of China is one of the most remarkable women of the age. Not content with directing the in tricate policy of the most populous em- pire ill the world with wonderful clever ness and sagacity, she has now entered the ra nks of competitors for the light weight championship of the Celestial Empire. Attired in sort of bloomer costume, she takes daily lessons in box ing from an old eunuch. Her appear ance at the age of fifty, in short skirt, hitting out at her venerable preceptor, and occasionally receiving punishment herself, must be comical to the last de- gree, and the reports on the matter form the subject of most disrespectful merriment on the part of the almond eyed denizens of the Chinese metropo- lis. The Empress Regent was concu- bine of the Emperor Hein-Fung, on whose death she was appointed to net as co-regent with the dowager Empress during the minority of her son, the late Emperor Tung- Chi. When the latter died a few months after his marriage, one of those curious intrigues which make the history of oriental courts took place. His young bride, who was en- ceinte at the time of the young mon- arch's death, died mysteriously before the birth of her child, and the old dow ager Empress and co-regent took her departure for another world rather sud denly few days afterwards, leaving the present Empress Regent in undisputed possession of power. With unusual ability she has guided the policy of the empire through the troublesome times which have resulted from the opening up of the country to foreign trade, and has so conducted affairs as to have brought the nation to an infinitely higher degree of prosperity and tran guilty than it enjoyed when she took up the reins.

Just Like Her Elders.

The Boston Iranscript says: A story of the rising generation: In one of the suburban towns there is a young lady quite 8 young young lady she is, too whose somewhat boyish aspect and inno gently masculine tastes have won fol her the soubriquet of Tommy. Not long ago she gave little party to the children of the neighborhood, and in preparing for the event her mother, Ill order to get at an idea of the sort o young people her daughter would like to have attend, told her to prepare list of those she wished to invite. Tommy went to work with zest, and in a shor, time prepared long list.
 "There, ma," said she, with an air o1 conclusiveness, "there's every single one that I want to come.''
 Her mother took the document anG read it with an astonishment which in creased as her eye approached the enc of the list. Tommy had only one girls name on the whole list
 "Why, Tommy" her mother ex claimed, "do you want none but boys to come to your party? What are you thinking off"
 "Well, mamma" said Tommy, ''yor know girls ain't any fun !''
 "But would your boys have any fur if there weren't any girls ?"
 Weren't any girls? Why, therel be Kitty Bickerstaf and me, and tha ought to be girls enough !''
 The mother, however, insisted upo1 the nomination of full quota of girls but in order to get it she had to make inquiries herself. Tommy's informa tion was deficient.

AN ENGINEERS TESTIMONY.
He Says the Chatsworth Disaster
 was Not Incendiaries' Work.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-J. O. Baker, President of the Illinois Society of Engineers and Pro- lessor of Civil Engineering in the University of Illinois, returned last night from a careful personal examination of the Chatsworth q ssas- ter, and an examination of the conditio of the other bridges and culverts. He sci O. day:
 1.-The inccndary theory has no foundation Whatever. I am unable personally to find any citizens of Chatsworth who have seen srspi- cious characters lettering about, as required by that theory. The flames of the burning culyert were plainly seen from Chatsworth at intervals for several hours before the accident. From the lay of the land they must have risen five or six feet above the track to have been s en so far. It is plain that an attempt had feen made to protect the bridges of the road from fires, but personal inspection of other eulverts in that vicinity shows that it was not done so as 10 affUrd complete protection A personal inspection along the line of the road for several miles shows that grass and weeds were burned pf, but many patches were left unburned. and in the immediate vicinity It was more carelessly done than elsewhere The culvert itself was of the usual build and of abundant strength to cary the train but for the fire, which had destroyed the lower DO tion."

MARlON'S FAIR GUEST.
Mrs. Cleveland Visits Woods Holl
 on the Steamer AlbatrOss.

MARION, Mass, Aug. S.-Another superb day here at Marion. It is little warmer than yesterday, with an almost cloudless sky, and the locusts are singing with the high, shrill note which marks an August noontime. There is very little breeze and the waters of the bay are dancing and sparkling in the sunlight.
 Mrs. Cleveland and her party-Mr. and Mrs. Greeley, Mrs. Folsom, Miss Welch, Mir. Har- mon Mrs. and Miss Glider, and MT. Chase have gone over to Woods Holl for the day. The little steamer Albatross which is in the service of the Fish Commission stationed at Woods Holl, came over for them. The Alba tross anchored off the lower village and sent up its launch for the party, some of whom were taken from Delano's wharf at the old landing, while the rest drove to point lower down in order to save t me.

A Fable.

Upon a certain Occasion, as the Edi- tor of "The Weekly Jabwock" sat in his Sactum, a young man by the name of John Smith Rushed upstairs and Demanded that his Honor be cleared of Vivid Stain.
 "The Jabwock" had announced that some one by the Name of John Smith had been sent up for Thirty Days. This John Smith wanted it known that he wasn't the John Smith, or he would bring Great, Big, Overgrown Libel Suit.
 'Certainly-with Pleasure" Replied the Editor of "The Jabwock." And he wrote that the John Smith, of Pumpkin Pie-ave, was not the John Smith who Pounded his Aged Mother; nor the Smith who stole Harness; nor the Smith arrested Bigamy; nor the Smith who had Prize Fight; nor the Smith who Set the Saw Mill on Fire. In fact he cleared him of all the Crimes and Offences on the Calendar, and the re- suit was that Smith Stopped his Paper, Withdrew his Advertising, Ambushed and Licked the Editor, and was the means of Bank1upting the Paper.

A BATTLE AT A COAL MINE.
Fierce Attack on the Men who Sup
 planted Strikers.

W1LKEsBARRE, Aug. ,9.-There was great ex- citement in the mining town of Alden last evening. Ten months ago the Alden Coal Company had difficulty with some of their men. The men struck and warned outsiders to keep away from the mine. Two weeks ago a party of Polanders and Hungarians, fresh from Cas- tie Garden, arrived at Nanticoke, and they were at once taken to Alden, where they took the places of tie strikers.
 Last evening the strikers marched down the road, near the mines, and waited until the men who had taken their places came out of the slope. As soon as tue scabs made their appearance a wild howl went up from the strikers, and they made a dash for them. The helpless wo -kmen were completely at the mercy of the mob, and being unarmed, were unable to defend themselves. The rioters clubbed and stoned the scabs in terrible manner. Several pistol shots were fired.
 A great many of the scabs ran across the fields and made their escape Those who could not escape were left bleeding by the roadside. Several womep took part ill the scrimmage and on banner carried by one of the women were the words:
 Kill the men who took our bread.
 After the fight, which lasted twenty min utes, the strikers hurried to their homes.

Little Barefoot.

The Boston Herald says: MT. Mat thew Arnold was greatly struck by this democratic government of our reading room when he was in Boston, He came in here one day and saw little bare footed newsboy sitting in one of the best chairs of the reading room, enjoy ing himself apparently for dear life. The great essayist was completely as- founded. "Do you let barefooted boys in this reading room ?" he asked. "You would never see such sight as that in Europe. I do not believe there is Q reading room in all Europe in which that boy, dressed as he is, would enter. !" Then Mir. Arnold went over to the boy, engaged him in conversation, and found that he was reading the "Iife of Wash ington," and that he was young gen tleman of decidedly anti British tenden- cies, and, for his age, remarkably we'll informed. ,..
 MT. Arnold remained talking with the youngcter for some time, and. as he came back to our desk, the great Eng ishman said: "I do not think I have been so impressed with anything else that I have seen since arriving in this country as am now with meeting this barefooted boy in this reading room. What tribute to democratic institu- tions it is to say that, instead of send ing that boy out to wander alone in the streets, they permit him to come in here and excite his youthful imagination by reading such book as the Life of Washington The reading of that one book may change the whole course of that boys life. and may be the means of making him a useful, honorable, worthy citizen of this great country. It is, I tell you, sight that impresses a European not accustomed to your dem- ocratic ways
